Meet Milka Eliav, BIC's Hebrew teacher
Meet Morah Milka! Born and raised in Israel, I have a BA in English and a Teacher's Certificate from Bar Ilan University in Ramat-Gan, and an M.Ed. in Teacher Leadership from Brandeis University. I have taught all levels of modern Hebrew at the University of Michigan for more than a decade, ran the Hebrew for High School Credit program "Keshet", taught a variety of adult Hebrew courses at BIC over the years, and have been teaching Hebrew and Judaic Studies at the Hebrew Day School of Ann Arbor since 2012.
I am a self proclaimed Hebrew enthusiast and passionate about the evolution of Hebrew, and clarifying complex language forms and structures. I care about Jewish education and I love the Jewish diversity Ann Arbor offers.
I have two kids, 26 and 19; my extended family lives in Israel and I try to spend time there every summer. I enjoy cooking and I love going on nature hikes in the countless parks and preserves in and around Ann Arbor.
